Unfortunately, this mill has had no wings for a long time, too bad.

In 1848 a Mr. van Schayck applied for permission to build a new Dutch windmill a short distance from the gates of the city of Straelen. However, this was rejected. Only after a new building site had been found on the Gieselberg was approval given in 1851 for the new construction of the wooden mill.
The mill was in operation as a grain mill for about 100 years. In 1952 it burned down due to a thunderstorm and was shut down.

The town of Straelen is located on the left lower Lower Rhine on the plain between the Maas dunes in the west and the Niers lowlands in the east. On one of the hills, north of Straelen, the former windmill on Gieselberg stands in the middle of a meadow. The sandy plain, which was formerly a heath and moor landscape, is now agricultural land with horticulture and flower farms. The Niers flows through the plain to the east of the town. Natural forests and marshland have been preserved near the river.
